Juan Diego’s applauded statement on laSexta: “As long as human beings exist, culture must resist”

The actor Juan Diego has died this Thursday at the age of 79 in Madrid after a long illness. At laSexta we remember one of his most vindictive interviews: in 2015 he visited laSexta Noche and sent a clear message to the Rajoy Government, which raised cultural VAT at 21%.

“Gentlemen of the Government, Do you want us to go out with a gorilla to do street shows? We will do it. Do not evict us and put a gag on us, “he claimed then.

For Juan Diego, “this country does not deserve this punishment for so long.” The actor insisted: it was economically demonstrated that the rise in cultural VAT to 21% did not work, and he warned“whoever is in charge, we will be against him and we will criticize him”.

The actor was always clear: As long as the human being and freedom exist, culture has the duty to resist. The actor did not understand the persecution that the Government did towards culture and towards artists.

“When we are talking about culture, we are not just talking about theater, we are talking about education, essential services, what a country has to have to be free, a country that decides, a country that knows why they vote for one thing and not another. We are reaching a time where this is going to change,” he said.
